Twi-lights: CU Buffs crown new star in road win

 

The Colorado Basketball team won their first game of the year today improving to 1-1 with a 91-84 win at Auburn. The game was back and forth, and things looked ugly for the Buffs in the first half, but led by George King and Josh Scott Colorado played a very good final 25 minutes and won an entertaining afternoon contest. Here are BSN Denver’s tweets of the game:

Big game for the Buffs today, a win sets them up and earns them a decent resume road win… a loss and we're in a hole to start the year.

If Josh Scott plays a game that we're accustomed to seeing from him, Buffs win. Just like last game

So this Canty kid is good at shooting threes, maybe we should guard him

— Ted (@TheGhostofMarv) November 17, 2015

So that's a nice little 30-11 Auburn run.

Well that escalated quickly.

Well, that got out of hand very quickly. #CUBuffs

40 perfect from the field and King got 22..big CU run to make it double digits.. pic.twitter.com/DwldRlFAjA

— Spencer Dinwiddie (@SDinwiddie_25) November 17, 2015

George King had two double-digit scoring games in his career coming into the year. He has two in his first two games this season.

— Parker Baruh (@ParkerBaruh) November 17, 2015

Josh and George balling. I see y'all

— Xavier Johnson (@XtheCreator) November 17, 2015

Only two games in. Small sample size, but pretty obvious Colorado under-valued coming into the season. Buffs no longer have chemistry issues

— Kyle Ringo (@KyleRingo) November 17, 2015

George King and Josh Scott big offensively. Collier took care of the ball. A lot to like from this #CUBuffs win. Good start 2 the year

Incredible resolve to withstand that first half run… George King is a special talent.

— Tyler Ziskin (@TZiskBuff) November 17, 2015

In two games against auburn, the Buffs have scored 181 points. That's #good.

George King is what happens when you take advantage of a redshirt year.
